about

lyrics

I lived my whole life
Never knowing I was a bell
Until the moment I was lifted up and struck
We emerged as a moon in light
A kinesthetic, blinding light
So we melted each other down and then back up

I sing the body
Put your back into it
I resonate the body
Put your mind into it
Oo baby, won't you give me some
Of that rainbow light slipping off of your tongue
I wanna run, run, run
Stretch me tight like the skin of a drum

The earth is full of cages
Barred around distant faces
Carefully dismantled by love
So penetrate and oscillate into the flow
Perspirate and vascillate throughout the show
Till we lift ourselves and each other up

I sing the body
Put your back into it
I resonate the body
Put your mind into it
Oo baby, well it ain't that hard
Get on your feet and raise up your arms
I want to move your heart
'Cause if you don't move, it can't be art

I sing the body
Put your back into it
I resonate the body
Put your mind into it
The Universe is wrapped in string
It can't do nothing but shake that thing
I wanna ring, ring, ring
Like a sweet, sweet bell on God's own wing

I sing the body
Put your back into it
I resonate the body
Put your mind into it
Oo baby, I love you so
From the folds of your brain to the stretch of your toes
I wanna go, go, go
I want to love your soul

I sing the body
Put your back into it
I resonate the body
Put your mind into it
Oo love we are soul embrace
In a moment of life, time turned its face
I wanna race, race, race
Jump off the world into the unknown grace
